Recently, a big news broke out about $400 Million of ICO investments have been stolen by hackers. But these are signs that can tell you whether it’s safe to invest in ICO or not:
- To look for social proof and validation is always a must step to follow. Companies that have thousands of active users will publish reviews and testimonials, hence verifying themselves.
- The companies that are genuine about initiating a token offering will have no concerns about publicizing their true identities. Making it a necessary step to analyze the company’s team and their background.
- Choose the most coin offerings that host very active events, forums and have blogs whose community has a voice in the decision-making process of the company. It’s always a good decision to opt for an active and thriving community.
- One of the most important things to do is doing your own independent research on the matter. Pay attention to basics and find a roadmap to go through the technical details. Because it takes a true technologist to successfully scope out a technical roadmap for a product or service.
